GERM 503 German III (Intermediate German I)
This course continues building and practicing the basic vocabulary and grammatical structures developed in the Introductory German courses, with a special emphasis on professional language skills. This includes, among other things, a focus on specialized vocabulary fields (e.g. “the stage,” “scores”), decoding field specific texts (e.g. the poems of Lieder, personal correspondence of musicians), developing a personal, professional narrative in German, and making a public presentation on a musical topic. The course will be conducted in German. Prerequisite: GERM 502 or instructor permission
